Re: Your windows - 28b17ce2-4ed9-44c9-b369-443d1d6fd0a2 - Hello all, I'm very new. I have no construction experience, and no engineering experience. I have a 2 car garage with inside dimensions of around 22'Wx22'D. The ceiling joists run parallel to the garage door, and the roof rafters run perpendicular. My problem is that one of my ceiling joists(2x10 or 2x12, I think) is sagging by about 1 1/2". What I see is: because the supports for the roof are all tied into one joist with no blocking, all of the weight of one side of the roof is on one joist which is causing the sag. I don't really know if that's the reason or not, it's what I'm inferring. My plan is to jack up the joist with jack posts, and then sister in new boards along both sides of the sagging joist with bolts and construction adhesive. Since I'll be working mostly by myself, or at least with very little help, I was hoping to be able to use shorter boards (8' or 10') and just stagger the seams by 4' or so. A) Will this work? B) When I go to sell my house, is some inspector going to ding me for it? Thanks, Lance |

I normally simmer lentils with the lid on the pot, but I've noticed most recipes don't specify to do this, so I was wondering if they are supposed to be simmered uncovered? | |

The way I cook lentils is to cover them until they are close to done. Otherwise, unless there is a lot of liquid, you risk having the pot boil dry. Once they are close to being done, I remove the lid and cook off any excess liquid. But my advice would be to follow whatever your recipe says. |
